Fill the gap with what you want. "ഉണ്ടോ" is the question word for existence, roughly "is there?" Very versatile.
Fill in what you are looking for. Essential for navigating large supermarkets. Staff will usually walk you to the right aisle.
Also on strike days, hartal, when everything shuts.
In Kerala a plastic bag is a "cover".
Literally "the price is very high".
Breakfast is often appam or puttu with curry.
Literally "is ... possible for me?".
